    Wonderful news!

    I'd be interested to learn what the exceptions are. I know hairdressers have always been subject to these, because they tend to take the customers with them. I remember in England years ago I had jobs in IT that had these clauses in the contracts. Then someone challenged it in court, won, and...

    What Do YOU Think Of When You Hear, Read, or Say the word; "God"?

    What does a humanist say "at that time"? "Oh man, oh man!"

    Marketability of Your Religion Based On Your RF Contributions

    A true story. A Tibetan Buddhist monk that was associated with a Buddhist group I was once part of, had traveled to Nepal and was returning. He took a taxi from Atlanta airport and the driver, seeing his robes, asked what religion he was. On hearing "Buddhist" the driver went into a long spiel...

    Sex, modesty and shame

    Joke: Why don't Baptists make love standing up? Because someone might think they are dancing! Now I have your attention, I'll proceed. I think it's true that anything that is forbidden becomes interesting and attractive, especially to young people. So yes, if sex is forbidden and/or hidden...

    Do those who prefer falsehood over truth deserve hell forever?

    There's something now that people didn't have back when these religions were being suggested. That is a scientific understanding of the world that gives an explanation of how things happen that doesn't require anything supernatural. Does that mean that the religious concepts are false? Not...

    Do those who prefer falsehood over truth deserve hell forever?

    Oh dear. I saw a reference to being a dog in some future life and thought that might not be a bad idea. So I wrote something humorous about it. I do that. For the record, I have no expectation of anything happening after my death.

    Do those who prefer falsehood over truth deserve hell forever?

    This is my my favorite (humorous) depiction of the problem.

    Do those who prefer falsehood over truth deserve hell forever?

    Really? A couple of questions before decide. Can I be guaranteed a kind and caring owner that will keep me fed with quality dog food and a few treats? Will I be kept indoors and allowed to sit on any furniture and sleep on the bed? Will I be allowed to bark a reasonable amount? What about a...

    "We need to make children to support the older generations"

    I was talking generally. Here's a link. https://ourworldindata.org/fertility-rate Extract: There are three major reasons for the rapid decline in the global fertility rate: the empowerment of women — increased access to education and increased labor market participation declining rates of...

    "We need to make children to support the older generations"

    Here (USA) people get the pension regardless of their income. They paid into it after all. Those with more additional income pay tax on a greater percentage of it. I'm one example. And a lot of how well off old people are depends on how much they have saved throughout their lives. Many can't...

    How do you fold your clothes?

    It's perfectly possible to buy clothes that don't need folding or ironing and look OK without either. Choose those, then use the "two hamper" method. For that you have two containers, one containing clean (washed) clothes and one containing dirty (awaiting washing) clothes. Select clothes to...

    "We need to make children to support the older generations"

    The problem seems to be (in first world countries at least) that the ratio of older people being supported by the taxes of younger working people has changed dramatically. There are several factors in play. The increased life expectancy with better medical care. The "baby boom" generation...

    Why do you think some enjoy boxing or wrestling?

    I agree that people like different things, but I share the OP's distaste for a sport where the objective is for the participants to hurt each other, like boxing. Wrestling is a bit different, as hurt is not the primary objective, at least in variants like College wrestling where it's mainly...

    Taylor Swift?

    I suppose I should comment on the OP too. I agree with the main point which is, as I see it, why so much fuss over this particular performer? I don't follow pop music much these days, as I rarely hear much I like. The Taylor Swift "thing" though ... I decided to see what all the fuss was...
